New this year- the addition of yard signs showing homes which are a Constable Program members.

Costs for the program are the same as last year--$315 if you pay by check or $325 for PayPal, which includes $10 is a processing fee. If every current member of the program could get one new member to join, the neighborhood might be able to add another patrol shift.

The only criticism I have is that you did the reno and then sold the house! Devastated! I was so looking forward to reading about meals and events that you would have in the new space. I am very envious of the kitchen that you beautifully designed. I often think that if I had a kitchen like that I'd enjoy cooking a little bit more.But I suppose the best thing is we get to experience it all again with the new (old) kitchen! Can't wait!
